These advances are due to innovation in lens materials with better comfort through in-built lubrication, higher oxygen transmission and moisture content. Our visual demands increase with the years passing us by and also with the need to have a youthful outlook &#8211; these have also innovated newer optical designs in contact lenses and refractive surgery.<\/p><p>Contact lenses like refractive surgery free you from glasses. The feeling of being unencumbered is to be experienced by those who have worn glasses most of their lives. They work best with single vision. Multifocal designs are available and are still evolving. Advanced presbyopia still proves challenging.<\/p><p>Our Optometrist fits all available brands and modalities ranging from gas permeables, daily, weekly or monthly disposables to annual custom-made contact lenses including orthokeratology, keratoconus, scleral lenses. As an independent we strive to fit lenses that are best for our patients&#8217; eyes. Sometimes, we prescribe one brand for one eye and another for the other eye.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8aff04b\" data-id=\"8aff04b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6293bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c6293bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/contact-lenses-4792987_1920-1024x683.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4771\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/contact-lenses-4792987_1920-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/contact-lenses-4792987_1920-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/contact-lenses-4792987_1920-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/contact-lenses-4792987_1920-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/expressiveeyes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/contact-lenses-4792987_1920.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7dc3b1a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7dc3b1a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0b7ca7e\" data-id=\"0b7ca7e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29f5779 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29f5779\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Choosing Spectacle Lenses<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d72daeb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d72daeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lens materials have matured but the biggest change is the new optical designs made possible with digital manufacture.
